🥄 Instructions & Methods

Step 1: Make the Crepes

  1. In a blender, combine flour, eggs, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  2. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes (this makes the crepes softer).
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly butter it, and pour ¼ cup batter, swirling to coat evenly.
  4. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat until all crepes are done.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in whipped cream until fluffy.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing other components.

Step 3: Make the Shortcake Crumbs

  1. Crush cookies into fine crumbs.
  2. Mix with melted butter until sandy.
  3. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes until golden. Let cool.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

  1. Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface.
  2. Spread a thin layer of cheesecake filling.
  3. Sprinkle strawberries evenly.
  4. Roll the crepe tightly into a log.
  5. Slice into rolls.
  6. Roll edges in cookie crumbs for that signature “shortcake” texture.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Arrange rolls on a serving plate, dust lightly with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, and garnish with strawberries and mint.

📖 History

Strawberry shortcake dates back to the late 1500s in England, originally a sweetened biscuit topped with strawberries and cream. Over time, it evolved into layered cakes in America and Japan. Cheesecake, on the other hand, has origins in ancient Greece. Combining cheesecake with strawberries became a worldwide favorite in the 20th century. This recipe is a modern twist, merging French-style crepes with American strawberry shortcake and creamy cheesecake.
